Format dates in paradox

I have a date which is in the format of a string. "12/12/2003". Is there any way by which i can convert it to "12 December 2003" format using a paradox function and not having to write a whole big function with ifs and elses in it?

In the help section i found date format specifiers such as d mmmm yyyy but not sure how to use them.

format("DD2, DML, DY3, DO(%D %M %Y)",date("30/11/2005"))

Bye!

Thanks!

Five years later, this answer--which I may never have figured out my own--is still coming in handy! THANKS!
